Respond to this criticism of the Theory of Evolution: Natural
selection is based on circular reasoning because the fittest are
those who survive, and those who survive are deemed fittest.
1. Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection is the
logical outcome of 4 testable predictions or postulates. List and
define them:
2. How is the word "fitness" defined by biologists compared to
everyday use?
Using a specific example, explain how natural selection explains
the theory of evolution. Also include in your explanation and
within your example, what are the factors needed for natural
selection to act. In your explanation, do not use examples with
domestic animals, or about humans.
Using an evidence-based approach, argue either for or against
the contention that evolution through natural selection with
adaptive radiation is an overarching theoretical framework that
explains the current diversity of living organisms.
in other words, what do you think of the above statement?
Evolution by natural selection is an emergent property of the
structure of DNA. According to the theory, individuals vary in form
and behaviour in heritable ways, which leads to different survival
rates of their offspring.
True or False?
The type of evolutionary relationship shown in phylogenetic
trees is called horizontal gene transfer. Endosymbiosis is not an
example of horizontal gene transfer.
True or False ?
biology involved Evolution and natural selection
Relate the concept of natural selection to the
process of evolution. What conditions are
necessary for natural selection to result in the evolution of a
population?
